The Dallas Mavericks kicked off a four-game road trip on Wednesday evening against the San Antonio Spurs. They were fresh off a win over the Timberwolves and were looking to move to three and zero since the All-Star break with Luka Doncic in the lineup.

The Mavs once again jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. They had 36 points in the first quarter which propelled Dallas to a 109-103 victory on Feb. 26. It was their 36th win on the season.

Kristaps Porzingis started strong with 16 points in the opening quarter. He finished with a team-high 28 points, 12 rebounds, one assist, two steals, and three blocks in 29 minutes.

The Mavericks have just four players in double figures in San Antonio. Tim Hardaway Jr. had 17 and Dorian Finney-Smith produced 14.

Luka Doncic once again led the way for the Mavs offense. He finished with 26 points, ten rebounds, 14 assists, one steal, and seven turnovers in 37 minutes of action. Doncic went to the locker room to get his thumb taped in the first quarter but returned strong. It was a history-making triple-double too.

Luka had it all on display against the Spurs. He was making plays for others with seven first quarter assists. The 20-year-old star scored at will in the paint and even unlocked his step back 3-pointer on three occasions.

It was an incredible performance from Doncic. Fans can enjoy his highlights below.
